This week we're spotlighting one of our favorite Butterfly Walk Teams, the March of the Nurses and Friends!🦋🌟

This team has been joining the Butterfly Walk since 2007 and is made up of local pediatric oncology nurses and support staff who come to show support to CancerFree KIDS patients, survivors, and bereaved families.

The inspiration from the name came from March of the Penguins, which was one of Hanna Paribello's favorite movies.

We can't wait to see our favorite nurses, providers, and friends at this year's Butterfly Walk. Thank you for all you do for CancerFree KIDS families!🎗️💛

The inaugural Celebration of Courage Columbus is around the corner and we want to thank our 2026 presenting sponsor, Nationwide Children's Hospital! CancerFree KIDS has funded groundbreaking research in Columbus since 2012, investing $4.5 million to advance early stage pediatric cancer research through the work of the brilliant scientists at Nationwide Children's Hospital.🎗️

We are proud to bring this event to central Ohio for the first time ever, and we could not have done it without our partners at Nationwide Children's. We can't wait to enjoy this evening with you all on May 27th!🌟

This Nurses Week, we're celebrating all the incredible nurses who are on the front lines caring for kids with cancer. These nurses provide more than just exceptional medical care. They bring laughter and joy to hospital rooms. They calm fears during scary procedures. They are with kids and families during some of their hardest days. Their compassion, skill, and heart inspires us every day.

It was an honor to visit Nationwide Children's Hospital deliver treats and gratitude to all the pediatric oncology nurses. Thank you for all you do for kids and families.🎗️💛 Nationwide Children's Hospital Foundation
